List the next departures from one station or stop, as the board on the platform would: time, line, direction, platform, kind of vehicle, and the next stops it calls at. Use it for "what leaves from Bern in the next hour", "when is the next tram from Bellevue", or to see how often a place is served. With to, it lists only what calls at that station later, each with its arrival time there — "trains from Olten to Zürich HB" — including trains whose destination is further on. For connections that may need a change, or door to door, use plan_journey. Inputs: station is A station or stop name ("Zürich HB", "Bern", "Lausanne, Flon"), an address ("Bahnhofstrasse 1, Winterthur"), a named place ("ETH Zürich", "Kunsthaus"), a coordinate as "geo:47.3769,8.5417", or a place_id returned by find_place ("stop:8503000"). Names are read the way a rider types them; an ambiguous name returns candidates instead of a guess. If it is an address or coordinate, the nearest stop is used and named in the answer. to (optional) is a station the departures must call at, read the same way. time is when the board starts; Swiss local time in ISO 8601, e.g. "2026-09-26T08:00"; an explicit offset or Z is converted. A bare "08:00" means today (tomorrow if it has long passed). Omit for now. limit is how many departures (1–40, default 12). Times are planned timetable times with their Swiss offset; live delays and cancellations are not included. Example: {"station": "Luzern", "time": "2026-09-26T17:30", "limit": 8}
